Hold up. She put $9,000 worth of jewelry into her checked bags and is surprised and shocked when it all came up missing? I wonder if she'd pack $9k in cash money in her checked bags? No?
I wouldn't even carry any valuables in my carry-on bag - that shit would stay on my person.

Jesse "Bud" Alley earned his U.S. Army commission via the Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) at Furman University in his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. He was selected as one of 1,000 ROTC graduates in 1964 to participate in the Army’s experimental “U2” program, whereby he was assigned as a platoon leader without attending an Officer Basic Course.
in 1965, at 23-years-old, Alley would find himself a Communications Officer in South Vietnam gearing up for what would become the first major battle between American and NVA forces, The Battle of Ia Drang.
After the pivotal battle at LZ X-Ray, Alley and his men found themselves marching towards LZ Albany, what they did not know was that North Vietnamese soldiers were in hiding, waiting to ambush them. By sunrise the next day, 155 members of the unit lay dead and 124 wounded. It would become one of the deadliest single days in the Vietnam War.

Social Security retirement age set to change in 2025
Among the changes Social Security recipients will see in 2025 is a higher full retirement age.
The number marks the age at which workers become eligible to claim 100 percent of their retirement benefit based on lifetime earnings.
For years, the full retirement age was 65, but that changed with a law passed by Congress in 1983 to gradually raise that number to match the growing expected lifespan, according to the Social Security Administration.
Analysis: The Constitution Does Not Grant Birthright Citizenship to the Children of Illegal Immigrants
Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it.
In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States. This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.
The children of such foreigners are currently granted U.S. citizenship and its benefits under a misinterpretation of the Constitution. Although such citizenship could be conferred through legislation, no such law exists.
Comments are off (reposted)
I'm sorry, but I'm having serious computer problems to the point I can't keep the damned thing running. As much as I hate moderating comments, I'm not going to let two or three hundred of them accumulate while I either find and fix the problem or more than likely, buy a new computer this weekend.
Give Me Liberty, Not Pronouns
It’s time to defrock the word police.
The election, polls, and anecdotal evidence confirm that Americans want to end the obnoxious recitation of pronouns – “Latinx,” “birthing persons,” and other entries in the radical left lexicon – except in eulogies for progressive virtue signaling.

A Constitutional Convention? Some Democrats Fear It’s Coming.
As Republicans prepare to take control of Congress and the White House, among the many scenarios keeping Democrats up at night is an event that many Americans consider a historical relic: a constitutional convention.
The 1787 gathering in Philadelphia to write the Constitution was the one and only time state representatives have convened to work on the document.

We don't need a Constitutional Convention. We have a fine Constitution, it's the government that keeps misinterpreting it and fucking it up.
Commentary: The Years of Madness Are Ending
Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.
One reason so many are welcoming Trump’s return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years. And why not?
FAFO
CHICAGO — A man who robbed a McDonald’s customer at gunpoint on the West Side was hospitalized after the restaurant’s patrons ganged up on him and beat him until Chicago police arrived, officials said. And, prosecutors claim, it was the second time in ten days that the gunman had robbed the same victim inside the same restaurant.
